Anyone checked this out yet?

They even offer a full power train warranty up to 5 years, 100,000 miles for $775. Not bad.

Many many threads on this

Warranty is ONLY good for stock parts - any upgrades, and you're toast!

Shooooooot....you were going to borrow money and drop $14K on a Maggie a few hours ago........What changed your mind?

kylenewman · 07-20-2010, 07:08 PM

and the warranty only is valid with their very safe tune. Which means you don't get the full potential out of the supercharger in the first place. If it were me i'd be more worried about buying a good unit at a decent price and getting a custom tune done by someone who knows their shit.

Because I was getting everything at cost but didn't want to still because I'd rather just wait and pay cash, and even looking at a TT setup it looks to be cheaper which higher outputs. but this was suggested to me also.

Supercharger

I dunno...I am leaning pretty hard to a twin turbo setup.

Dang phenix, in less than 24 hours, you've gone from maggie to e-force, and now to t-turbo........?...You need to lean back, take a deep breath, and do some reading.

ZuluKilla8 · 07-21-2010, 08:09 AM

Whats the HP/TQ look like with their safe tune?

That I am. Not looking to have this done tomorrow, but maybe by the end of the year or sometime next. The dealer has some custom 22" TSWs that are $4500 at dealer cost they also are trying to sell to me and I can't pass it up. But am thinking of what I want to do next after the rims. I'm doing a lot of reading and phone calls though.

Not really sure but according to their site they are claiming 599hp and 547tq at the crank.

Those 22 inchers on the rear can slow the car down overall. Takes more power to spin larger wheels/tires. You do not see guys that know drag racing use that tall a wheel/tire combo. I would stay with max of 20 inchers. I would get the same wheel you like in 20 inch, probably for nesr the same cost to you. My 2 cents

phenixdragon · 07-21-2010, 09:19 AM

But they look cool.

I'd actually may end up buying some 19s or 18s at some point just for the track or even another set of the stock 22s but for the most part, I don't really plan on going to the track. Maybe a couple times a year. Never even been to the track before besides just to watch.

They were just beautiful though. Wish I took a pick. I may go to the dealer today to take another look at them. If they didn't have them I'd be picking up this Edelbrock or a TT setup instead but I can't pass up this deal. I would suspect they would be over $10,000 if I tried to get them made myself. Plus they also had some really nice tires on them.

Actually looking at the install guide from Edelbrock makes it seem pretty easy to install. I never have installed a supercharger before, or done anything deep into the motor but I am technical and they are pretty detailed in their directions. It seems like something I could do own my own and save my self $1,500 or so on the labor to install it.
